Review: How About No by Lani Lynn Vale (Bear Bottom Guardians MC #3)

Wade Johnson knew Landry Hill was going to be a game changer ever since he first saw her in the classroom where he was taking over for a sick friend's law enforcement class. They had to kind of beginning to a love story that would never have an ending...until all he had left was a note and later, more words and more paper that required his and her signatures so they could become divorced. They continue to live close enough for them to still see each other once in a while, and Wade does his best to continue to watch over the only woman he knows he'll ever love, even if she's already moved on with someone else. But nothing is quite what it seems, and when Wade finds out the truth, he realizes this could be his one chance to prove to Landry that they've always belonged together. The thing is, there are other things she's been keeping from him. What will it take for Wade to get Landry to say "yes"?

Lani Lynn Vale's Bear Bottom MC just keeps getting better with each new release. Book three is my favorite so far, and it's all thanks to a unique second chance love story between Wade, who is a law enforcement officer and a member of the Bear Bottom MC, and Landry, who runs both a daycare and a dog shelter. These two were lots of fun to get to know, and there was no denying that they still loved each other in spite of their being apart. There's a bit of angst courtesy of Landry's childhood and what ends up costing them their marriage. Landry's parents would never win any awards for how they treated the poor girl like nothing more than a commodity, but only when she was necessary, otherwise she was made to feel like a nuisance. There were a couple of twists I didn't see coming, making for an even better overall read. How About No snags five stars, and I can't wait for more Bear Bottom MC. ♥

He was different—more than just odd—but he had found me. And for the moment, I liked not feeling lost.All the Little Lights is a young adult (YA) novel penned by bestselling author Jamie McGuire, and it isn't your usual YA romance read either. Unsurprisingly, McGuire has weaved a tale of two young people who find their way to each other only to be forced apart by circumstances beyond their control. When they're both seventeen, Elliott Youngblood forges the journey back to the tiny town of Oak Creek, Oklahoma to keep a promise he made to Catherine Calhoun. It's a promise she believed he broke two years prior, at a time when she needed the one person she believed she could lean on most. Elliott may very well convince Catherine to forgive him and give him another chance to get close to her, but while there are parts of them tha…

And the Beagle Makes Three is my first Geoffrey Knight read, and it turned out to be quite a surprising one. This tale about a widower and single father named Stuart Summerfield and his eight-year-old son, Atticus, was both moving and entertaining. It's been eleven months since Stu lost his wife Claire, and while life has gone on for them, with the boy finding solace in the company of his beloved beagle named Digby, it takes a call from Atty's school to have Stu wonder just how okay his son is doing. Maybe a visit to his sister-in-law and her family will do the trick, even if Stu isn't exactly all that enthused at the prospect. Atty is his top priority, after all. But will the reception and surprises leave this father and son feeling hopeless or hopeful for life moving forward?

This is the kind of read that you can get through and enjoy in about an hour's time, and while i…
